The Way You Look Tonight
Bennett Tony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
Just the way you look tonight
With each word, your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I, I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Mmm, mmm, just the way you look tonight

Charlap's beyond supportive and tasteful. That's a whole studio orchestra arrangement under his hands. A master class.

I love his work with Ralph Sharon and Bill Charlap -- even at his advanced age here. And of course the iconic lps he did with Bill Evans. Wonderful.
